These harmonicas are either authentic reproductions or have not changed since the earliest time period listed. They may date back further than we currently have them dated, but the date listed is the earliest date we have documented. Diatonic Single Reed Harmonica Models These models include some of the most popular harmonicas and are used in Blues, Folk, Country, and Rock. All feature reeds which are tuned to produce the natural notes of the scale without any additional sharps and flats. Most are ten hole instruments with the four middle holes comprising a complete eight note octave, and the holes an either side extending the scale and permitting chord playing. These models are capable of producing the expressive effects of bending and overblowing. Here is an audio sample by Hohner's Rick Epping
Tremolo Harmonicas Tremolo harmonicas are Diatonic models constructed with double holes, each containing two reeds tuned to the same note, one tuned slightly higher than the other. Since both reeds are either blow or draw, when played both will sound together—the slight difference in tuning creating a beautiful vibrating or tremolo effect. Tremolo models are popular for ballads and gospel music, as well as for Latin, Asian, European and other international folk styles.
Here is an audio sample by Hohner's Rick Epping.

Hohner Concertina: This is a single reed C/G diatonic concertina made by Hohner. Concertinas play a strongly established role in the world of accordions. Because of their small size and low weight they have always been a hit among musicians who are often on the road. They are, of course, also very well established in family music at home, and it is impressive what great range of sounds these instruments can produce! This Concertina comes carefully packed in a fitting padded bag, they love travelling and have to be adequately protected. |

Miscellaneous Un-Verified InstrumentsThe instruments in this group have not been verified for authenticity for any historic periods. At this time I can not list how early they could be used or how they could be modified for use. As soon as I get the time I will verify the usable period and any necessary modifications that should/could be done. As far as the Violins, I know the only difference between them and my mothers early 1900s violin is the chin rest. More information coming soon.
